Slavery and Rice Culture in Low Country Georgia, 1750-1860 by Julia Floyd Smith
Basing her account on wills, probate records, published and unpublished census data, journals, diaries, and newspapers, she supplements these traditional sources with interviews and field observations. She thereby imparts sensitivity to her subject. Her discussion of slave life- including migration, separation of families through sale, slave breeding, diet, housing, language, and the importance of the task system to the distinctive slave culture of the lowcountry- is interesting and informed.
Julia Floyd is professor emerita of history at Georgia Southern College and the author of Slavery and Plantation Growth in Antebellum Florida.
